HAY-DERRICK.

lThe Schedule referred to in these Letters'patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it {ma/y conce/m:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. JOHNSTON, of Bloomington, in the county of McLean, and in the State of 1llinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hay-Derricks; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ther eof, reference `being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in the construc-` tion of a hay-derriok, by which a lateral as well as perpendicular motion' is obtained, and which will be hereinafter fully set `forth.

In order to enable othersskilled in the art to which my invention appertains, to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, which form a part of this specication, and in which- Fignre 1 is a side elevation,

Figure 2, a rear view, and

Figure 3 is a plan View of the transferring-wheel.

A represents a triangular frame, in the centre of the base of which are two upright standards, B B, at suitable distance apart.

At the top of the standards B B are placed two inoutwardrom the frame A.

Between the ends of the bars O C are pulleys a a, over which the hoisting-rope D passes, said rope passing under a pulley, b, in rear of the standards B B, and

The other end of the-rope passes down to the ground raising the hay, which is represented by the weight E. f Along the front edge, on the insideof the standards B B, are small slats, c c, which form ways or tracks for the transferring-wheel F.

The slats c c extend from the frame up a suitable distance, and are at their upper end bevelled, and lead on tocurved metal bars Z d, which form a continuation of the same, carrying the transfen'ing-wheel upwards and outwards lon to similar slats, e e, placed along the inner lower edges ofthe outer ends of the bars C O.

The transterling-wheel F consists oi' two anged wheels, f f, with a tongue, h, between them, the sa'id tongue having suitable journals, on which the anged wheels ff are placed.

The front end of the tongue h is connected with a clamp, t', which encircles and holds 'the hoisting-rope D at any point desired.

' When, the machine is placed in proper position, it will be seen that the end of the rope D comes down to the ground, at or near the foot of the standard B, and when the hay is hoisted up, it is carried perpendicularlyupward from the starting-point, the transferringwheel moving also upward, on the' track c, until this .Wheel arrives on the curved bars d d, when, as the wheel advances on the same, and on the slats e e, the g hay is carried outward as far as the ends of the bars O O clined bars C O, with their slats a a and e e and curved bars d ll, all substantially as shown and described.

2. In combination with the above, the transferringwheel 7 F, clamp fi, and hoisting-rope D, all constructed andoperating substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth. y

3. The transferring-Wheel F, constructed, as de scribed, of a tongue, h, and a fianged wheel, f, on each side, substantially as shown and described. In testimmly that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 25th day of November, 1868. I
